Description

Abstract:

High-quality thin films of tetragonal CuMnAs [1] were recently implemented in novel spintronic devices. These rely on different phenomena, for example Néel vector reorientation via spin-orbit coupling [2] or thermal quenching into high-resistivity states [3]. I will present the results of our attempts to use transmission electron microscopy to understand the magnetic structure of CuMnAs on the atomic scale [4]. These experiments help us not only to explain the physical mechanisms behind interesting functionalities of CuMnAs devices [5], but also get a better understanding of the crystalline/magnetic structure interplay in antiferromagnets.
